A Day in the Life (Oct 2013)tag:typepad.com,2003:gallery-2013-09-30T22:10:55-07:00TypePadMe & My Bike | Aliza Deutschtag:typepad.com,2003:photo-2012-06-22T01:36:06-07:002012-06-22T01:36:06-07:0012 x 12 | materials cardstock (Bazzill Basics) + patterned paper (Carta Bella, Elle’s Studio) + paper clips (Maya Road) + wood veneers (BasicGrey) + stickers (BasicGrey, Carta Bella) + stamp (Cocoa Daisy) + font (Burst My Bubble)
A Note from Aliza
This layout is about something that I have once again added to my life each day-riding my bike to and from work. It’s not the first time I have gotten into this routine. It’s always tricky getting started, and even harder to maintain in the winter months. But while I am doing it, I love it.
Journaling
It’s happened several times over the years. After a long hiatus, it is always difficult to get back to riding to work. There’s the physical effort, the time involved (like, 2 extra minutes), and the fear of riding in NYC traffic. But once I get started and keep it going for a couple of days, NOT riding becomes difficult. On rainy or really cold days, I miss the sweat, and the little cardio rush, and suddenly the thought of paying the subway fare seems like highway robbery. Except sometimes my body needs to rest for a day or two. And then sometimes that break continues too long, and the cycle begins again. Since June 2013, I am back in a bike riding groove. Go me.
October Fun Fact
When riding over the bridge (at least while riding up), I have to have something to occupy my mind, and distract me from the physical effort. Usually I make a to-do list in my mind, or I think about the details of a scrapbooking project. If I can’t think of anything in particular, I think of a big word, and I try to scramble the letters to make new words.write click scrapbook editorial team

A Note from Christine
I picked a day and set reminders on my phone to take photos every hour throughout the day. Then I just picked my favorites that reflected my day and ended up with nine photos. Including nine photos on a layout can be difficult, so I sized them at about 2.4" square and created a collage in Lightroom. I exported the collage as a jpeg file, then pulled it into Photoshop and typed the time and description of each photo on top of each photo. Then I printed it out 8.5x11 and cut the photos apart for my layout.
Journaling
It was fun to document a whole day. I set my phone to remind me to take a photo once per hour. The result was a cool summary of an ordinary, but also extraordinary day!
October Fun Fact
One year for Halloween, we got our friends to join us in a group costume. We all dressed up as characters from Scooby Doo. We spent weeks finding the right clothes at thrift stores. It turned out really excellent!write click scrapbook editorial team

A Note from Monika
For me it was hard to focus on one particular day. I made a handbook page with last 3 days of vacation, and first day of school. They were very important for our family, and for me especially, because I met my dear friend, who I hadn’t seen for 14 years (she was at US Army in many places in the world). Another important day, was first day of school for my older son, who started 2nd grade, and we are so proud of him. I used Studio Calico and Two Peas printables. Try to use printables in your work, it’s so much fun!
October Fun Fact
We were at the park lately, and I saw first colorful leaves on the trees and on the ground. I can’t wait when I will take my kids to the park, and take them a lot of photos full of autumn colors.write click scrapbook editorial team

this is your life | Stephanie Bryantag:typepad.com,2003:photo-2013-09-12T08:15:23-07:002013-09-12T08:15:23-07:008.5 x 11 | materials journaling cards (Studio Calico) + thickers (American Crafts) + stickers (Heidi Swapp) + embellishments (Studio Calico, BasicGrey, A Piece of Cake Design) + other (typewriter, white card stock)
A Note from Stephanie
For the "Day in the Life" challenge this month, I waned to create a Project Life spread recording the everyday of my two children. I love capturing their interests at one particular moment. Instead of using a regular Project Life page protector, I decided to use an 8.5x11 coin pocket sheet. Each square is only 2 inches so it allowed me to get a few more pictures in the spread. After I added my photos, I typed up my journaling on white card stock and then added it to the page. The few empty spots I had, I filled with a few extra journaling cards, some stickers, wood veneer and flair. I kept the first column of slots blank and added my title with thickers.
October Fun Fact
I love Fall. I wait for it all year long. I love boots, lattes, football, chili…..basically everything Fall related!! The leaves may be changing here, but it's still 95 degrees!! Hopefully Fall is right around the corner!!

This layout is about a daily routine that my 16 year old cat has developed. Apparently, I scrap in the morning so often that she has come to expect it!

Lucky has her morning routine down pat. After breakfast, she heads down the basement, expecting me to follow. We spend our mornings in my scrap room. She explores, plays with paper scraps and eventually takes a nap. Rough life!

This layout was made minutes after I received the August Cocoa Daisy Main Kit! I just loved the colors and knew that I wanted to use that fun photo of us.
That photo represents so much and says so much about our relationship. We seriously have fun all the time. We joke and are silly everyday and I am sure it drives people crazy!
I made that heart card using my watercolors. Try it, it´s so much fun!

I almost never make a page about my daily life 9 months of the year, which is teaching, mainly because I forget to take photos! I took one from each hour this year and made this page to commemorate my year without a prep period. So far, so much fun!

A Note from Jina
I usually like one photo layout. But sometimes it's not enough to keep lots of memories on one page. To arrange multiple photos on this page, I decided to make wide white space. It seems to me that the white space put my layout in a simple mood although 5 photos were in.
October Fun Fact
The Galaxy Note 3 will finally be in Korea at the end of this month. I'm going to buy a new mobile in October. :)

A Note from Laura
I picked September 5th to document my day. This was the first week my kids were back in school. My little boy Willie started kindergarten and prior to this he went to school 4 days a week with Fridays off. This was my first Friday without him and I really missed him! When the bus left in the morning I remembered Day in the Life and decided to do it that day to keep me distracted. I took a bunch of pictures. Not all of them went to Instagram when I took them but when I got the idea to do a pocket page layout I "latergrammed" them and used this digital template with so many square pockets to put them into.
Journaling
9/5/13 This was the first Friday of the first week of school. Willie was in kindergarten, and I really missed him! I did errands, did my run, ate some homemade granola and a green smoothie. Not pictured, John and I bought Mary Rose her graduation laptop. I brought the big lens to Mary Rose's field hockey game in the afternoon.
October Fun Fact

This layout is about my son's standing breakfast order for cereal, no milk. I extracted the bowl of cereal from my photos background with a craft knife to help bring it to life on the page and then I used my silhouette to cut the phrase just another day out of this leftover piece of kraft. I decided to layer the vellum over top of the diecut phrase so that it was interesting but not in a standout way, like the phrase "just another day" implies.

A Note from Christa
There are always big changes in a move, but of course a move to another country brings the biggest changes. We go from seeing cookie cutter houses, backed up traffic and 7-11 stores to non-stop vending machines, bento and yakitori shacks and bulls being walked like dogs. It has certainly opened my photographer eyes to pay attention to what is going on around us ever day.
October Fun Fact

<b>A Note from Christa</b>
There are always big changes in a move, but of course a move to another country brings the biggest changes. We go from seeing cookie cutter houses, backed up traffic and 7-11 stores to non-stop vending machines, bento and yakitori shacks and bulls being walked like dogs. It has certainly opened my photographer eyes to pay attention to what is going on around us ever day.

A Note from Mel
This layout means a lot to me. It represents a quiet moment with my baby girl. Since I've gone back to work this time together is even more important to me. It's also one of those rare times that we can just be still and quiet together. It's our daily ritual, our moment of solitude that I will forever treasure.
Journaling
Right now she needs me more than ever and I need this just as much as she does. This is our moment just for us. I treasure this time more than she will ever know. It calms my mind and my heart.
October Fun Fact
I love Fall, such a perfect time to be outdoors and take pictures. The scenery is ideal! The apple orchard, the pumpkin patch, Thanksgiving and Halloween, it's a beautiful month ahead!

I went a different direction with this month's assignment, and chose to capture a moment that I treasure each and everyday, after nap snuggles with my baby boy.
Journaling
This moment is something I look forward to each day-after nap snuggles with you.
October Fun Fact
This month my favorite season is in full swing, and the cooler temps and fun fall activities are something I look forward to every year.

Every Time | Amy Sorensentag:typepad.com,2003:photo-2013-09-27T22:58:29-07:002013-09-27T22:58:29-07:0012 x 12 | materials patterned paper (Echo Park, Jillibean Soup, My Mind's Eye) + small journaling card (Studio Calico) + alpha stickers (Echo Park) + date sticker (BasicGrey) + word stickers (My Mind's Eye) + font (Century Gothic)
A Note from Amy
I took my "everyday" inspiration in a slightly different direction. The idea to make a list about repeating, consistent things we do came from a conversation I had with my sister about how we're both in the Costco phase of our lives. (Because we won't always need to buy, say, four gallons of milk or five pounds of cheese or two dozen eggs all at once, but right now it's absolutely necessary!) I thought about how, when Kaleb was younger, every time we went to Costco he asked me for a hot dog and a "flushie" (his word for a berry smoothie). And how every time we went to Wal-Mart, at about that same time, we'd go visit the fish. I read through journals, blog entries, and Facebook status updates to come up with the rest of the details.
All of which proves that you can do "every day" type of layouts about everyday (ish) experiences that happened years ago.
Journaling
Every time:
we go to Wal-Mart, you want to visit the fish. (We only skip visiting the fish if we are in a HUGE hurry.)
we brush your teeth, you grimace, squeal, and protest. (It’s better than it used to be, when you’d scream with your lips closed tight. Which was frustrating—but funny.)
I think “Kaleb is so tired, he’s going to fall asleep while we drive home” you never do. (Seriously, I think you haven’t fallen asleep in the car since you were about 8 months old.)
we go to Costco, you ask for a flushy (a berry smoothie) & a hot dog. (Sometimes I get one or the other for you.)
Haley is home from school, you want to hang out in her room with her. (You like to play Littlest Pet Shops with her.)
we go for a walk, you want to visit the chickens. (They are on the other side of 4th North by the hospital trail; there are ducks and a pheasant in the coop, too, and sometimes kittens wandering around the raspberry bushes.)
we go to the library, you insist on picking out a few non-fiction books. (The ones about animals are your favorite.)
you’re bored, you’ll get out your crayons or markers and draw me a picture. (I keep them all in my night stand
drawer and I look at them all the time.)
we come home from anywhere, you run into your bedroom to swap your clothes for pajamas. (You’ve finally learned to put the clothes you already wore that day back on when you want to go outside again, rather than getting out some-thing clean. My washing machine thanks you.)
I hold your hand, I’m so grateful for you in my life!

A Day in the Life of a Scrap Addict | Diane Paynetag:typepad.com,2003:photo-2013-09-29T10:30:56-07:002013-09-29T10:30:56-07:0012 x 12 | materials patterned paper (American Crafts, My Mind's Eye, Studio Calico) + flair (A Flair for Buttons) + sequin (Come On Get Crafty) + gem dots (Studio Calico) + labels (bananafishstudio) + fonts (American Typewrite)
A Note from Diane
This layout was difficult to get inspired to do because I was feeling a little bored with my day-to-day life at the moment. When I had my a-ha moment to incorporate a little humor into my daily routine with my scrapping obsession I was very inspired. My scrapping obsession is actually 100 times more than I described in my journaling…I think about scrapping and am inspired by things around me 24/7. I hope that I'm not the only one with this problem, which, by the way, I don't view as a bad thing. I love living a creative life!
Journaling
4:50 – Alarm goes off. Still tired…set the timer for 10 minutes.
5:00 – Timer goes off. Still tired…set the timer for 10 more minutes.
5:10 – Annoyed with myself for not getting up when my alarm first went off. Stumble into closet, put on workout clothes and head to the living room for my T25 workout. Feed dogs.
5:15 – Start workout DVD with a captive audience of 2 furry dogs.
5:45 – Finish T25 workout and head to shower.
6:05 – Make coffee and finish getting ready for work. Think about how good the coffee tastes while I drink it.
6:20 – Make sure Wyatt is up for football practice.
6:55 – Head to kitchen, make coffee and breakfast to go and pack lunch. Think about how I need to be on the road NOW or I’ll sit in a bunch of traffic. Make sure Alyssa is awake.
7:10 – Head out the door for work. Annoyed at the slow drivers in the fast lane.
8:15 – Arrive at my desk. Turn on computer, check e-mail and start to work. Think about things I want to make with pretty paper when I get home.
9:30 – Feel hungry. Eat snack and start thinking about lunch. Wish I was home playing with pretty paper and embellishments.
1:00 – Really hungry now. Eat lunch at my desk, pin 10 recipes and 10 design and layout ideas on Pinterest. Recipes will never be used and all inspiration and design pieces will inspire a layout in the near future. Think of one creative idea that has me anxious to get home and play with pretty scrapping supplies.
1:30 – Super tired suddenly. Make ice tea and think about my page ideas for my latest and greatest scrappy acquisitions. Get busy working again.
3:00 – Hungry…again! Eat snack. Take a couple selfies to amuse myself. Daydream about making something with pretty paper. Get back to work.
4:30 – Start packing -up to beat the 5’oclock traffic.
5:20 – Get home. Visit with kids, go through mail, and start planning dinner. Sit down and surf my favorite scrapbooking sites and Pinterest. Go to scraproom just to take a look at all the lovely goodies waiting for me.
7:30 – Finish dinner. Pack lunch for the next day. Ensure kids are working on homework. Work on laundry and clean things up around the house. Hurry, hurry…anxious to start working on my scrapbook idea.
9:00 – Finally! Make it to my scraproom. Look lovingly at all my supplies and dig in.
10:30 - Check on kids, tell them to get ready for bed. Keep scrapping.
11:00 – Tell the kids goodnight. Hurry back to room to finish layout.
11:30 – Realize I’m not going to finish. Don’t want to go to bed but I must or I’ll never get up in the morning.
Get up and repeat all the same steps and obsessive scrappy thoughts the next day.

This layout documents one normal day in our life. With the inspiration of taking 12 photos on the 12th day of the month, of simple everyday things we did. What we ate, where we went, what we did. A basic grid based layout makes for an oh-so-simple way to get those photos off the camera/phone and into the scrapbook!
